The Rowley Estates – Elk Cottage garden table

Expansive lawns & sunspot patios

Breakfast on your sandstone terrace patio in the crisp Cumbrian air, secluded by dry-stone terraced cottage gardens. Get the coals glowing on your Weber barbecue to do justice to a wheel of local Cranston’s Cumberland sausage while dogs and kids burn off energy in the spacious lawned gardens.

The village of Glassonby is well endowed with native woodland and lovely hikes along the River Eden including to one of the Rowley family heritage sites of Long Meg and Her Daughters historic stone circle.

If you can bear to leave...

Hike and bike the Pennines? Take the Ullswater Steamer to Aira Force? Or simply step outside your own front door and ramble from Dale Raven along the banks of the Eden River. Mark the seasons as you fish for brown trout and pick raspberries nearby on the estate. For thrill-seekers, there are zip-wires, paintballing, and mountain biking. For more relaxing pleasures, book a Michelin-starred lunch in one of Cumbria’s amazing restaurants or see a play at the Theatre by The Lake at Keswick.

Elk cottage is the best home from home I’ve had the pleasure of staying in. I’m local to Cumbria, but wanted a space to introduce two dogs and have easy access to long walks and bike rides and Elk cottage was perfect.

You wanted for nothing as the cottage is...
